Among the funds which have been made avail- able for town use are the Lucy Hathaway Fund, which amounts to about thirty-three thousand dol- lars, to be applied to highways, bridges, schools and support of the poor as needed; the Thomas D. Hath- away Fund of twenty-nine hundred dollars, for use

for sidewalks and shade trees; and the William Penn Harding Fund of one thousand dollars for the use of the Free Library.
Most interesting of all is the provision made by "King Caesar" Weston's great-grandson, William Bradford Weston, for the "King Caesar Poor Fund," and the "King Caesar Hospital."
A sum of sixty-one hundred dollars was deposited in 1916, with the understanding that interest is to be permitted to accumulate until July 14, 2016. The accumulated sum is to be divided into two parts -one-eighth, and seven-eighths.
The one-eighth part shall be paid to the town treasurer for the relief of the aged and the poor who are not in the town infirmary. This is to be known as the "King Caesar Poor Fund."
The second part, representing the seven-eighths, is, at the end of one hundred years, to provide for "a small fireproof hospital with modern improve- ments, to cost not more than one-fourth of the then value of said . . . accumulated fund . .. " The balance of the fund is to provide income for oper- ating expense of the institutions. "All beds in said hospital shall be absolutely free to all citizens of Duxbury, unless they are perfectly able to pay ; and said hospital shall be known as the "King Caesar Hospital."
So the long arm of "King Caesar," once the best- known shipowner in America, reaches out through the centuries to help those who came after him.

SKETCHES
Captain David Cushman, Jr.
C 1 APTAIN DAVID CUSHMAN, JR., was born in Duxbury on September 24, 1807, in the house known then as the Cushman house, and later as the McNaught house. He was one of eleven children, the youngest of whom was a half-brother.
David Cushman began his sea life as a cabin boy, at the age of fourteen. In 1831, he was mate of the vessel, Hebe. Later, he shipped as Master in many of "King Caesar" Weston's vessels.
One of his trips in the ship, Roscious, is sketched tersely in the ship's log:
"From Boston towards Cape Town, Cape Good Hope, June 2, 1839, with a crew of fifteen men, David Cushman, Jr., Master; at anchor in Cape Town Harbor, Table Bay, Aug. 16. From Cape Town towards Manila, Sept. 10. From Manila towards Canton, Nov. 29. From Macoa towards Manila, March 11, 1840. From Manila towards China, April 1. From China towards N.Y., June 3, with a full cargo of teas and silk. Sailed from Macoa June 6. Arrived in New York, Nov. 2, 1840."
He sailed in the ship, Undine, from 1842 to 1844, in the Mattakeeset in 1844 and 1845, in the Pros- pero from 1851 to 1853, and in the Delphos in 1857.
215
The Story of Duxbury 1637-1937
He also commanded vessels owned by Mr. Augus- tus Hemenway of Boston. He sailed around Cape Horn during every month of the year, and around the world many times, encountering hurricanes, tornadoes, waterspouts and earthquakes in foreign waters, but never lost a vessel and never met with a serious accident. He made his last voyage in the clipper ship, Kingfisher, in 1860-1862, concluding an active sea career of forty years.
On April 11, 1841, he married Mary Winsor Alden Sampson, a widow, and went to housekeep- ing in what is now called the Town Offices. They had five children.
Captain Cushman bought land from Major Judah Alden and others of the Alden family, and had Jo- seph Weston build a house in 1846. It is still oc- cupied by his son's wife and daughter.
He joined the Marine Society on August 19, 1839, and the Masons on May 31, 1847. He was a Master Mason in 1871. He died on October 6, 1878, at the age of seventy-one.

Captain Josephus Dawes
Born in the Tinkertown neighborhood of Dux- bury in 1820, the son of Abraham and Deborah (Darling) Dawes, educated through intermittent attendance at the local school (which stood half- way up the hill between the Mill Pond and the present Island Creek post office), Josephus Dawes
216
Sketches
began his sea-going career at the age of seven when he accompanied his father on a fishing voyage in Massachusetts Bay. From that time until he was fourteen, he attended school in the winter, went to the Banks during "the muddy season," and during several summers was apprenticed to Joseph Sim- mons whose place in Island Creek he later bought for his home.
At fourteen, he signed ship's papers as a boy be- fore the mast on a vessel commanded by his brother, Captain Allen Dawes, and continued to sail with him, with ever-increasing responsibilities, until 1841.
At twenty-one, a man in his own right, Josephus Dawes was made master of the brig, August, owned by Joseph Holmes of Kingston in whose employ he served for nineteen years, frequently succeeding his brother as master of a ship and being succeeded in the same ship by his brother, James H. Dawes. In 1852 and 1853, the California gold rush attracted him. The call of the sea, however, was stronger; and until 1862, he engaged in the Mediterranean fruit trade, making many fast trips and records. Speed was necessary especially when several fruit vessels were leaving the Mediterranean at the same time, for the first to reach the home port received the best prices for the fruit. Of the bark, Fruiter, commonly referred to as "the old green box," Cap- tain Dawes used to say: "She'd stick her nose under the water when we came out of Gibraltar and never take it out until we sighted Boston Light."
217
The Story of Duxbury 1637-1937
Off Cape Good Hope, in the early days of the Civil War, Captain Dawes had to conceal under canvas the name of his vessel, Valetta, on account of the nearness of the Confederate cruiser, Alabama. The four years following, he spent trading on the China coast.
In 1867, he superintended at East Boston the building of the bark, Annie W. Weston (named for the daughter of Joshua Weston of Duxbury) and commanded her until his retirement in 1871. In her, Captain Dawes traded between San Francisco and England, on one voyage carrying a load of guano from Howland's Island, that tiny dot in the Pacific to which Amelia Earhart's air-circumnaviga- tion of the globe has given some prominence. On this occasion, as on many of his voyages, Captain Dawes was accompanied by his wife who, carried ashore by Kanakas, was the first white woman to visit the island.
On his retirement, Captain Dawes settled down in the home to which he had taken his bride, Sally Freeman (daughter of Bradford and Waity (Win- sor) Freeman) in 1842. Until his death in 1910, Captain Dawes divided his time between his home in Island Creek and Haverhill, Massachusetts. For him, a day began at sunrise or a little earlier; and, during his last years, after hours spent in his garden or at his wood pile (his knitting-work, as he called it), the day ended in the middle of the afternoon when he stumped into the house saying: "Guess I'll knock off and call it half a day."
218
Sketches
In his thirty years as a master mariner, he never lost a man at sea or had a disaster. He assisted, however, while in the China seas, in saving the crew, most of whom were Duxbury men, of the Fruiterer, a Kingston ship commanded by his brother, Cap- tain James H. Dawes. Though he had doubled Cape Horn and Cape Good Hope several times and had circumnavigated the globe, life ashore never seemed dull to him, for he loved life; and "It takes life to love life."

Captain John Bradford
John Bradford was born in Duxbury on Novem- ber 27, 1823. He attended the Point School, and from the age of ten worked in the Weston ropewalk, of which his father was manager. When he was fif- teen, he made his first voyage, with Captain Joshua Drew, in the ship, Oneco. Now and then he stopped at home to help in rigging a vessel. In the winter of 1840-1841, he spent his last term at school.
In 1850, he took command of the ship, Hope. His wife, a former schoolmate, accompanied him on most of his voyages in the cotton service between New Orleans and Liverpool, and later to the coasts of South America, and to India and China in the ships, Garnet, and Frederic Tudor. For seven years at one time they did not see the shores of New England. During four of those years, their daughter was with them.
219
The Story of Duxbury 1637-1937
From 1877 to 1890, he served as a Port Warden of Boston, and settled in Winchester. Death came suddenly while he was in Duxbury for a day, May 1, 1893.
Captain Bradford ranked high among ship- masters for his competence in navigation, seaman- ship and business ability. He was respected for his staunch integrity, sobriety and good sense, and loved for his frank and kindly nature. His hearty, joyous laugh was like a fresh breeze that blows away the mists. Well-read in history and biography, he took a lively interest in national and world affairs, and expressed himself well in speech and writing.
Amid the untold hardships of a sailor's life, as well as the head winds and adverse currents that be- set every man, he kept his rudder true.

Hannah Davis Symmes
If perchance a visitor to the Duxbury of the good old horse and buggy days had been walking along the needle-strewn path beneath the stately pines which bordered the narrow, rutted dirt road leading toward the trio of ancient buildings-the Unitarian Church, the Town Hall, and Partridge Academy-he would very likely have seen ap- proaching at a leisurely trot a sleek, mild-eyed, old brown horse drawing a capacious Goddard buggy.
The occupant of the buggy proves to be a slender, frail appearing little woman, delicate of feature and
220
Sketches
complexion, and somewhat remarkable for her wealth of gleaming auburn hair and for the bril- liance of her eyes. Beside her on the buggy seat is a well worn "Boston bag" crammed to overflow- ing with textbooks and with classroom papers for home correction.
Anyone at all familiar with the Duxbury of the period thus visited in retrospect will have recog- nized the lady as being Miss Hannah Davis Symmes, who for many years served faithfully and most efficiently, up to a few months previous to her death, as a teacher in the public schools of the town.
Hannah Davis Symmes was born in Duxbury in the year 1867. His parents were Daniel and Selina (Weston) Symmes. Hers was one of the adven- turous company of New Englanders who sought their fortunes in the gold fields of the far west dur- ing the exciting days of 1849.
Miss Symmes acquired her education in the schools of Duxbury. Upon her graduation from the Partridge Academy, she decided to make teaching her life work. She was given charge of the district school at Ashdod. There, and later at the High Street school, she gave generously to the children of that period the benefit of her goodly store of knowledge. Her integrity, faithfulness and effi- ciency eventually won for her in 1892 a well earned promotion to the position of assistant principal of Partridge Academy, which office was held by Miss Symmes until the spring of 1903, when failing health
221
The Story of Duxbury 1637-1937
forced her to terminate her professional activities. She died on December 31, 1903.
Miss Symmes was an ardent lover of nature; and it was her delight to roam through the woods in search of flowers, or on berrying excursions, or on evergreen-gathering expeditions at Christmastide. She enjoyed sailing and rowing in the beautiful bay.
Some of the most pleasant recollections of my childhood are of hours spent with Miss Symmes and her gentle, silvery haired mother, in their cozy Cape Cod cottage on the hilltop on the northerly side of Bay Road (then known as Border Street). She possessed a keen sense of humor, and was en- dowed with a boundless patience and a sympathetic nature which, together with her brilliant mentality, made her a fitting companion for either child or adult. Her life was always one of unselfish devotion to her profession, to her family and to her innumer- able friends.

Captain Nathan B. Watson
Captain Nathan B. Watson is remembered by many of the older residents as an outstanding yachtsman. He gave up building small boats on the Jones River to become master of the Constellation, a schooner yacht owned first by Bayard Thayer of Boston, later by Francis Skinner, Jr., also of Bos- ton. At the time, she was the largest and fastest sailing yacht of her class.
222
Sketches
Previously, Captain Watson had sailed the sloop, Nimbus, of Cohasset, the cutter, Huron, of Boston and New York, and other yachts so skillfully that Bayard Thayer insisted upon his taking command of the Constellation. It meant giving up his boat- building business and giving full time to cruising in the West Indies and southern waters in general in the winter, and wherever the owner might desire at other times of the year.
Captain "Nate" was one of the Watson family which owned Clark's Island from the beginning of the grants to the First Comers. He was born on the island in 1844, and died there in 1925.
His first wife was a daughter of Captain Harvey Ransom, for many years a pilot in Plymouth Har- bor. It is related of Captain Ransom that the cap- tain of a vessel which had taken him aboard as pilot, was doubtful of his ability to keep the vessel off the rocks and flats, as it was being piloted in where the water was shoal.
"Captain," inquired the master of the vessel, "do you know where all the rocks are?"
"No, Cap'n," replied the pilot in his soft, un- ruffled voice. "But I know where they ain't."
In 1874, Captain "Nate" Watson built the first smooth planked boat for lobstering and fishing in these bays. She was the Wanderer, sprit sail, seven- teen feet over all, larger and faster than any of the lap-streak or clinker-built boats which had been built in Duxbury or on Clark's Island.
The Wanderer had a deep keel and was very
223
The Story of Duxbury 1637-1937
sharp forward. It was predicted that she would run under in a strong breeze; but the prediction did not come true. It was the end of the full-bowed boats when it was seen what she would do.
In that same year, Captain Watson built on Jones River the Idle Hour, a center-board cabin sloop, twenty-five feet over all, for Lewis Henry Keith of Kingston, winner of the capital prize a few years before in the Louisiana lottery. It was the first yacht built in this vicinity and attracted much in- terest.
Captain "Nate" was almost uncanny in his ability to mark on the side of any boat which he built, what would be the water line when she was launched.

Fanny Davenport McDowell
Though not a native of Duxbury, Fanny Daven- port was so long a resident of the town and so ad- mired by the townspeople that they claimed her as one of them.
Born in London, April 10, 1850, the daughter of Edward L. Davenport, famous actor of his time, Fanny Davenport was about ten years old when she made her first stage appearance at the Howard Atheneum in Boston as the child in Metamora, a play now forgotten. During her childhood, she ap- peared in numerous roles in New York and Phila-

delphia and finally came under the management of Augustin Daly of the Fifth Avenue Theater, New York, in 1869. Her great success as an actress dated from that relationship.
During her many successful years on the stage, she toured the country as a star in many plays, notable among which was Cleopatra, by the French playwright, Sardou.
Divorced from her first husband, she married Melbourne McDowell, the actor, and with him took active part in the summer life of Duxbury. Both she and Mr. McDowell were ardent disciples of cat- boat racing.
The McDowell boat, Fanny D., was a familiar sight in Duxbury Bay in the nineties when the cat- boat racing was at its height.
The Fanny Davenport house, as it is still called, is a colonial mansion which is separated from the roadway by a magnificent lawn. During Miss Dav- enport's life, it was a scene of brilliant social gath- erings, and a meeting place of noted people of poli- tics and the professions.
Captain Alexander Wadsworth
Alexander Wadsworth was born in Duxbury on August 22, 1808, the son of Ahira Wadsworth and Deborah Sprague Wadsworth, eldest daughter of Seth Sprague of Duxbury.
225
The Story of Duxbury 1637-1937
Although he went to sea later in life than did most Duxbury boys of that time, he was captain of a ship at the age of twenty-three. On his first trip as captain, he sailed his little brig, Fortune, with a crew of only eight men, around Cape Horn to China. Cooking on the Fortune was done in an open fireplace.
Captain Wadsworth married Beulah Holmes of Duxbury, who accompanied him on some of his voyages. They had two sons, Francis Gray Ford (my father), and Alexander Seaborn. She died in giving birth to the latter, in the Bay of Bengal where the ship was becalmed for six weeks.
His second wife was Selina Hilton of Damris- cotta, Maine, a distant cousin, who survived him but a few years.
During his active life at sea, Captain Wadsworth sailed chiefly for his grandfather, Seth Sprague. Among the vessels which he commanded between 1829 and his retirement were the brigs, Arabian, Falcon, William & Henry, Ceylon, and Favorite, and the ships, Constantine, Vespasian, Vandalia, Seth Sprague and Mattakeeset.
One of his last voyages was to India with a cargo of ice from the Tudors of Boston. So expertly was the cargo stowed that less than fifteen per cent of it melted during the long voyage.
. In 1863, Captain Wadsworth retired to his fine old colonial house, notable for its captain's walk five feet high. The house stood on Washington Street opposite the Carmichael house.
226
Sketches
Captain Wadsworth died on December 30, 1900. Four years later, shortly after the fine old home had been destroyed by fire, his widow passed away.

Descendants of the First Families
Though there are in the town descendants of Captain Myles Standish, there are none who bear his name. The last of that name was Dr. Myles Standish, famous Boston oculist, who was for many years directing head of the group which assumed charge of the Standish Monument and the sur- rounding reservation.
